Most people content to see Mumtaz's grave inside the Taj fail to go to the
rear riverside. This is the riverside view. From here one may notice that the
four-storied marble structure on top has below it two more stories in red stone.
Note the window aperture in the arch at the left. That indicates that there are
rooms inside. Inside the row of arches in the upper part of the wall are 22
rooms. In addition to the four stories in marble, this one shows red stone
arches in the 5th storey. The 6th storey lies in the
plinth in the lower portion of the photo. In another photo a doorway would be
seen in the left corner of the plinth, indicating the presence of apartments
inside, from where one could emerge on the river for a bath.

As stated at the beginning of this presentation, in case you did not read
it, the captions above
the Taj Mahal photos are kept the way they were found in the album, so the
style of English and the explanations are kept the same. I (Stephen Knapp) did not write these
captions, though many people think I did.
